In a printing apparatus having a mechanism for feeding a printing medium relative to the printing head having an array of a plurality of printing elements, when it is necessary to shift the positions of data to be set in the printing elements by an amount smaller than 8 bits, a basic unit used for data processing, according to the printing medium feeding amount determined by a printing resolution, a trouble of re-editing the print data is avoided. To achieve this, 8 bits of blank data are added to the print data to be transferred to the plurality of printing elements and the number of clocks for transferring the print data is reduced by an amount corresponding to the data position shifting. This allows the print data to be freely allocated to the appropriate positions of the printing elements without having to re-edit the data.
